Dickens and Jones - Richmond
I went to Dickens and Jones in Richmond yesterday looking for an old fashioned men's shaving kit as a Christmas present. I wandered around the cosmetics for a while not finding anything and so I thought I would visit the menswear section. When I got there only one member of staff was on duty and she was on the phone, I was…

Got Bike delivered from Tesco today, now £20 off and non in stock!
I am really annoyed, mostly with myself. I ordered a bike from tesco and it was delivered today. I've just looked on the tesco direct website and now it has £20 off, but non in stock, so I can't even order another and return the first one! :mad: I know I should just be glad I've got one but £20 is a lot of money. Any…

Nintendo Wii
Hi I like most of the uk have been searching for a nintendo wii. I am outraged at the extortinate prices people are selling this for on ebay. It gladdened my heart somewhat to see that some users of ebay were actually challenging some of the sellers about this hurrah!!! as I refuse to be ripped off. I have told my liitle…

Tesco Wine Club - outrageous!
I am absolutely furious - any ideas on my next move? Last week when the wine offers email was received I ordered 6 bottles of Chateauneuf Du Pape on 45% discount and 6 bottles of Sancerre on 50% discount. Was very pleased with myself for being an MSE, until the delivery tonight... The Chateauneuf was not delivered with a…

Non delivery of items with order - my rights?
I ordered a selection of fruit trees and bushes from a specialist supplier. I was told there would be two deliveries - Oct/Nov and Nov/Dec. At the end of Nov a parcel arrives containing all but two of the bushes - there is no delivery note enclosed so we assumed that the remainder of the order would be on its way…

Orange Pcs - Poor Poor Poor Customer Service
I recently contacted Orange to cancel my contract but the representative convinced me to have a new handset and start a new 18 month contract. But she did state that I would have 7 days to request a collection bag if I wasn't happy and the cancellation would revert to the 4th December 2006 ending on 3rd January 2007. Now…

No warning Debt Collection
Hi All, Hope this is the right place to post. Out of the blue, my Fiance got a letter from a debt collection agency last week threatening legal action etc if he did not pay this water bill. My Fiance and I have moved several times over the past 5 years. We had no idea why the bill had come and I checked my payment records…

Cheshire bears/ Catherine Healy Toys
Any other MSEs used either "www.cheshirebears.co.uk" which appears to be the internet site for Catherine Healey Toys? My wife ordered some beanies from it over a month ago and to date no sign of the goods. Allegedly all the ordered items are in stock but she's had no replies to her emails. Although the website says to call…

British Gas wasting our money
Just had a letter from BG informing me that there will be a £5 charge in future for late payment of bills, and suggesting that to avoid this I could change to payment by Direct Debit. I have paid them by Direct Debit for about 20 years!!!!! If this circular has gone out to all their customers, a good proportion of whom no…

Orchid Dialler
I like many other MSE members have an Orchid Dialler on the phone at home, and ignoring the fact that the software is a pain in the backside to use, it works well, and I would recommend it to you all. My vent though is the scheming gits at BT who sent a half wit of an engineer out to 'fix' my ADSL connection after…

Wales and West Utilities - Formally part of Transco
Today I had my gas supply moved to accomodate some remodelling of our house. Yesterday our plans changed that meant the supply now needed moving to enter the property from a different direction as had been planned. Wales and West Utilities certainly cut the mustard! This is the letter I have just drafted to their CEO.…
